Game 5 Preview and Open Thread: Ottawa Senators at Winnipeg Jets
Photo by Andre Ringuette/NHLI via Getty ImagesAfter an invigorating first win, the Senators have settled into the growing pains we expected from a rebuilding team. They’re still not a great team in a division full of good, though maybe not great, teams. They’re now on a three-game losing streak, and are looking to break it against a Jets team that they’ve lost to in their past two games. The Jets have moved Patrik Laine (and Nate Thompson) to the IR, so he will be out of the lineup for another game. It’s hard to know exactly what lines will look like, but here’s my guess based on the Friday practice lines:
Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Stützle - Tierney - C.Brown
Paul - Stepan - Dadonov
